论文摘要
雷达和无线通信被广泛认为是过去几十年来无线电技术最成功的应用。最近，通过利用通用的无线电频谱和相同的硬件平台，学术界和行业都有一种在一个系统中实现综合传感和通信（ISAC）的趋势。本文将讨论利用未来第六代（6G）蜂窝网络实现ISAC的可能性。我们的愿景是，在世界各地部署的蜂窝基站（BSS）可以转变为强大的传感器，以提供高分辨率的本地化服务。具体而言，是由多电池协调通信中的联合编码/解码增益的激励，我们主张在6G网络中采用网络传感技术以实现上述目标，在该目标中，BSS可以相互共享感应信息以共同估计目标的位置和速度。本文将揭示几个机会和挑战以实现6G时代的网络感知。此外，这一有前途趋势的未来研究方向也将概述。
Radar and wireless communication are widely acknowledged as the two most successful applications of the radio technology over the past decades. Recently, there is a trend in both academia and industry to achieve integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in one system via utilizing a common radio spectrum and the same hardware platform. This article will discuss about the possibility of exploiting the future sixth-generation (6G) cellular network to realize ISAC. Our vision is that the cellular base stations (BSs) deployed all over the world can be transformed into a powerful sensor to provide highresolution localization services. Specifically, motivated by the joint encoding/decoding gain in multi-cell coordinated communication, we advocate the adoption of the networked sensing technique in 6G network to achieve the above goal, where the BSs can share the sensing information with each other for jointly estimating the locations and velocities of the targets. Several opportunities and challenges to realize networked sensing in the 6G era will be revealed in this article. Moreover, the future research directions for this promising trend will be outlined as well.
